The problem is that AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT is a glib-2.0 thing. It is only used for the Win32 build and it is therefore guarded by if test x$os_win32 = xyes; then ... endif Unfortunately autoconf doesn't respect this condition although the generated configure (if you succeed to generate it) works fine. We've discussed several workarounds but none has made it into CVS until now. I hope that Yosh and Tor will speak up and tell us why. In the meantime you could install glib-2.0 (glib-1.3.12 is the latest release). You can do this in parallel to a glib-1.2 installation. > [Where do changes get discussed these days anyway?

If you were having problems to compile gimp-1.2 from CVS months ago, why didn't you go ahead and ask? There are only few people left working actively on gimp-1.2 and they do communicate (by email and IRC). How are we supposed to know that you are fighting with the gimp-1.2 tree if you don't tell us?
